Osmaston Day Nursery

I can not recommend this nursery enough and I'm so glad I chose this one to send my daughter to. The nursery itself is amazing but I can not thank the staff enough for their amazing work. They are so kind, patient and understanding. My daughter struggles with drop offs which is upsetting for the both of us but the staff make it so much easier. My daughter's speach and counting has improved massively since starting this nursery and it's all thanks for the staff. My daughter struggles with separation anxiety when im not around but she absolutely loves going to nursery, 5 mins after drop off she is busy smiling and having fun. And I know she is in safe hands. She especially loves being in the playground ( which is very big compared to a lot of other nursery's I viewed), there is always so many different activities and things for the children to do, the nursery is always clean and the food choice is amazing. I honestly cant recommend this nursery enough!

I moved my 21 month old daughter to Osmaston nursery due to not being happy with her previous nursery and this one is much closer to home. From the moment I stepped in to look around the staff and Shelby were so lovely. It has a warm feeling to it with music and twinkle lights in the corridor to try keep the children calm on arrival. My daughter has experienced such a lot of change in a short space of time and I was so anxious about how she would settle but the staff in the toddler room are absolutely fabulous with her. Jordan her key worker is very attentive and ravi is the most energetic person I've ever met, I cannot remember the other ladies names but they are always delightful and helpful. You can tell all the staff enjoy working there and they love the children and it's such a pleasure to see. They update the app and the handover is professional. I feel at peace when shes at nursery knowing she's happy and safe. When I pick her up she is always so happy. I am so grateful.

My grandson loves coming to his nursery and has built beautiful relationships with both the other children and the staff. All of the staff here go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and have memorable experiences, in and out of the nursery, which will prove invaluable for becoming well balanced little individuals when they leave. He has visited the local shops, spent time during Harvest delivering items to a local care home and made crafts with the residents. The team encourages visits for special occasions such as Easter and D-Day and it is obvious how much care and attention to detail is taken by all of the team to ensure everyone feels included and welcome. We love the staff and appreciate all that they do. Thank you x

Choosing a nursery for my little boy was a very hard decision because he has additional health needs. When I went for a show round here I was instantly sold because of how small the rooms were so the staff had so much more time to focus on individuals as well as groups (other nurseries had a lot of space which meant a lot of children). My little boy started Sept 2025 and between then and now has made such great progress with his confidence, independence, speech, development and separation from me! He has had 2 complex health episodes since being at nursery, the staff (incl the lovely manager) have gone out of their way to go to the hospital for training on his needs, medication and have got all the information they need to support him in the best possible way. It really is so lovely to see how caring all of the staff are with not only my boy but all the other children at drop offs and pick ups! I wouldn't choose anywhere else for my boy to be! Thank you!

Our daughter loves being at nursery and all the staff are very skilled. The staff care so very much about the development of our daughter and this shows in the regular updates and detailed feedback that we get. We have noticed our daughter's confidence, walking and language skills improve since attending nursery. We are always impressed with the range of activities offered and that fun is a priority! Trusting others to care for your child is always tricky but any worries we've had have been validated and we have felt reassured. We are very grateful that our daughter is treated as the special little girl that we think she is. Her key worker Shania has been brilliant at building trust with our daughter and she is always a friendly face with time to share personalised updates.

Lovely happy welcoming from manager to all other staff, and always happy for a chat and discuss any concerns we may have. Members of staff always go above and beyond for the children. Nursery is always bright with displays of the things they aim towards for the children. Communication between key worker is always amazing and again there to listen with any concerns or worries about things. Children always come out clean. Also kept up to date while child is there through the family app as well.

A wonderful nursery with kind, caring and professional staff. When our daughter went through a phase of not wanting to attend, the team were incredibly patient, supportive and helpful, which made a huge difference. She is now happy and settled again. The environment is safe and welcoming, and communication with parents is excellent. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing nursery with wonderful caring staff. The staff are hardworking and friendly, my son always looking forward to going to nursery. Just a huge thank you to everyone for their commitment and hard work. The app also a fantastic way to see what the children have been doing and we love seeing the photos and messages so definitely keep up the hard work with that.

The women here are amazing with the children. Even though my son is a handful with his emotions they really do settle him down. They keep me updated about my child through out the day which is amazing as i know there's so many children in their care.

Absolutely lovely nursery, all the staff are really nice and my daughter absolutely loves attending the nursery. She always tells me what she has been doing at nursery and also the handover that staff give is a brilliant idea so parents know what there child has been up to in the day

I would like to say that this is one of the best nursery in Derby management and staffs are very polite, helpful and friendly. They always try to give their best to the children. I do really appreciate it to everyone in this nursery.

My daughter has been at this nursery the staff have been amazing settling her in from when she started. My daughter joined in a dance group and the nursery staff were amazing to develop her interest in dance and giving her the time to show them what she is learning and growth with this. My daughter loves going to nursery every day she goes they have a wide range of activities. Painting arts and crafts outdoor play physical activities local walks parent partnerships. My daughter has grown so much and is so making friendship groups has a really good relationships with all staff has an amazing friendly environment. They give really good handover of what my daughter has done daily what they have learnt what next steps can be to support her and how to extent their learning or best interests I cannot thank them enough and she's been with them for over a year and will be sadly moving on too school in September.

The kindness and dedication of the staff will be deeply missed. We'll always remember the thoughtful care they provided, it's made a lasting impression.

Its very good nursery all staff are good they're halps my son to speak good they're very kind and very helpful thanks for everyone my son very like this nursery he loves all staff I specially two specific members of staff.

My daughter has attended the nursery for 4 months now and it is great to see how she went from being a timid and shy girl to one who is running eagerly into nursery when the doors open and even asking to go in during weekends. This is all thanks to the lovely staff who are always patient, upbeat and encouraging with my daughter. The staff also takes time to provide regular updates and makes time for discussions about my daughter's progress and works with me as a parent to identify where more focus on certain development areas is needed. I am glad to have found this nursery for my daughter and would definitely recommend this nursery to others!

I am deaf and a British Sign Language user. The nursery had been great and very supportive. Made me feel more comfortable. Welll impressed how they deal with my son due to his issues. I would recommend anyone to this nursery especially for deaf people as they have many ways to communicate via face-to-face or messages on app.

He's had a challenge adjusting to not being at home and the staff have been great with supporting him, especially his key person. The nursery keeps us well informed and we sometimes even get pictures of our son playing and smiling. We have no concerns so far.

The nursery my daughter attends has provided an exceptional experience for our family with a fantastic curriculum filled with engaging activities. She has flourished both academically and socially. It's heartwarming to see her excited to learn and play each day. Truly a wonderful place for early childhood development.

I am very pleased with the patience of my daughter's teachers. Because she is more shy, they try to get her out of her state and to express herself even better. She discovered a lot of things since coming to kindergarten.

Thank you for all your support.
